""Overall, this volume is a highly informative contribution to our understanding of the situation of the Deaf community in one of Africa's most populous countries...Tamene has done a great service to the field by providing a rich portrait of the Ethiopian Deaf community.""-- ""Sign Language Studies"" ""The book provides a valuable contribution to the field of sociolinguistics of sign languages and Deaf studies...The focus of this study is on Ethiopian Sign Language (EthSL) and the Ethiopian Deaf community. A description of the sociolinguistic situation of EthSL is a valuable addition; it sets a benchmark for future linguistic research on EthSL, where very little research has been done.""-- ""Language in Society""
